As far as I have understood, the "trunk/branches/tags" concept, you add the
directories only at the top level.
So if you create a project with
svnadmin create myproject
the recommendation is to create the three directories
myproject/trunk
myproject/branches
myproject/tags
So in your case, you should create:
ToolBox/trunk
ToolBox/branches
ToolBox/tags
(Compared to CVS, in Subversion there are only branches, even "trunk" and
"tags".)

No, that is not what is intended.
You should have "trunk" only one time:
svn co file:///usr/local/svn/ToolBox/trunk/perl/bin/
assuming that ToolBox is your project.

It was a misunderstanding.
